Pray for Anna Hazare - Hope for Better India.



I have never been interested so much in political news until now when I see Anna Hazare and his deeds for us. For the last 3 days every news channel has been covering his story and after many years, we have the chance to change the way politics have been in India. I have been reading articles in every blog and keeping an eye on the development and want to extend my support to him.

Anna Hazare, a 73-year-old Gandhian, sits fasting- until death in the burning sun at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi unless the government agrees to consider a powerful law that could punish Indian Political Corruption - even in the Prime Minister’s office
.
A former soldier in the Indian army is one of India's well-acclaimed social activists. This “Modern Mahatma” is taking the utmost act of courage and determination to push through the ‘corrupt system’ not for himself but for the future of every Indian. Anna Hazare’s little act of developing a bill called “Jan” Lokpal that will create an independent body, selected by judges, citizens and constitutional authorities, with enough power to investigate and punish all corrupted politicians. Within a day or two the nation has joined hands to support him. We could see that the pressure is mounting every hour on the Prime Minister and the government. The question is – will he endorse the "Jan" Lokpal? 

From a source – “Members of the opposition party have begun to make the right noises in support of Anna Hazare. And even the National Advisory Council, a powerful advisory body to Sonia Gandhi has come out in favor of the bill. But corrupt politicians and vested interests are doing all they can to kill it.


Not only this, today’s morning news showed Bollywood veteran Anupam Kher supporting Anna Hazare's fast on "Jan" Lokpal Bill. He has also urged the figures like Mr Bachchan , Sachin Tendulkar, Aamir Khan and SRK to come forward and join the act. Comparing the Bollywood villains with these corrupted politicians ain’t wrong is what Anupam Kher meant in his words.

Even today, as the protest continues between Anna Hazare supporters and the Government, there seems no solution in sight over the notification. The government says that it can at most get a letter from the Law Ministry for setting up of the committee which means that the government is pushing for a watered down Lokpal with no hope of ending corruption, fraud and dishonesty. 

I should also praise the Indian media as to how they have been covering this with a positive attitude favoring Anna’s act. The Indian media has enough power to take this extreme act of his in justice’s way. I hope they would be careful and responsible enough to the good of India, with their coverage.

Anna Hazare has set the example. But only a national citizen’s support can ramp up the pressure to get the Government to endorse “Jan” Lokpal. I just hope the GOD gives enough strength to this great person at his age for what he is doing.

      Common India, let’s support Anna Hazare and develop India, a “Corruption Free” nation.
      Vote for Anna Hazare here, to support his deeds and share your views. (Polling- rightside) 


Please join hands and give him the Strength \m/ http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_anna_hazare_fb/?fbad4
